Book Beginnings at Rose City Reader
Please join me every Friday to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. Please remember to include the title of the book and the author’s name.
Aldur Eskind and I came in at Iznar spaceport, the only one in operation on this part of Nhem since the others had been so badly bombed in the war.

Yup, it’s science fiction alright 
. However, a first person narrator isn’t a usual choice for SF and all other books I’ve read from Williams so far have had multiple point-of-view characters. So, this seems pretty different.

Yes, no mistaking the genre! I had to read it twice to even understand it.
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings on Fridays. I’d like to drum up some more participants, and one idea I had was this: if you are on Twitter, please tweet a link to your post using the has tag #BookBeginnings. Maybe in connection with #FridayReads, if you participate in that twitter event. Thanks!

I’m not on twitter, sorry. I hope a lot of others do it, though.
